Mr. Fierce appears to have collected a great deal-of iDormaii"! !n a short time, end much that is eut interesting. Mr. Pierce thinks there ere ebout two hundred plantations open to cultivation, and that there are between ten and twelve thousand negr,,c upon our bands, for whose present and future we must provide. This number Is rapidly increasing by escapes from the main land. Inquiries show that the average number on (be plantations woe 81, the largest being 200. The former white population, with one or two ezcep'ions, so far as can be ascertained, are rebels. The only ex portable orop of the region is the long Sea Island cotton. Potatoes and corn are raised for consumption on the islands. The agents of toe ireaeury department expect to gainer 2.5C0.X'O pounds of finned cotton this year. There are on the plantation laborers more intelligent tnan ine average, as toe carpenter, plowman and the religious leader, and they may be expected to assist us by exercising a beneficial influence upon the more ignorant. About one-half of the adult poiulation are members of churches, generally the Baptist Ltside Sunday serT.cee, there are evening prayer meetings on the plantations as often as era, 3 per senium ad valorem; en '.railroad pass- ( once or twice a week.

The disposition of the pe:ple to work has been discussed to some extent, some parties laser! In that they could not be induced to labor. Mr. Pierce's testimony en this point is in favor of the contrabands.Mr. Pierce then says, "What, than, should be the true system of administration" at Port noyai? it has been proposed to lease the plan tations and the people upon them; but this plan Mr. Pierce shows to be one of the worst that C3md be devised.

TSEASOH AMD RlBElUO PalMIOrTATBD. -1 In a letter to the Press, under dale f March 3d, Mr. Forney makes the following statement: When the news of the secession of South Carolina reached Washington city, it was greet ed with delirious joy by a brilliant evening party assembled at tne residence or Jeflerson avis. A distinguished omcer of the navy, ho had been in the habit of visiting Senator Davis and his lady, dropped in during the evening, and was informed of the event which oad exalted so much gratification. And when he manifested no pleasure at the announcement, ne was iniormed by iaris that ibers was no time for delay, and that if he accepted service n tne rebel ranks, be would in course or time be made an admiral. '-Stick to me, my friend,' said Davis to the gallant seaman, "and 1 will make your fortune. In a short lime au the Cotton States will be out of the Union, and beee will be followed by the Border Btates. bus constituting a great, independent, audi flourishing Empire." Finding him obdurate to such appeals, one of the ladies ef the coterie' approached him, "Why," she asked, "should: you falter now? 'ntiy not take the advice of Gen. Davis? The secession of South Carolina is but the begin ning or a revolution tony prepared jcr. ne baTe everything arranged. Not only will the Southern States be ours, but in a short period we win estaonen in mat region a migoty monarchy, and with the aid of foreign Powers, and our own bravery and inexhaustible resources, will take possession of Central America and Mexico, buy or take Cuba from Spain, and add to our dominions such of the West India Islands as we desire. Give up your reverence for the mere symooi oi a nag. lake sidee with us against the vulgar Northern hordes, and so accomplish the future that it in store fer you." As he left tne aouss, indignant at these bold declarations of those who had been fostered and protected oy tne uoverament, tne lady politician entered ner carnage, to convey tne thrilling intelli gence of the treason of South Carolina to a iriend and ally of the Secessionists, James Bu eaanan. This incident, which I have fntn undoubted authority, ie useful ae abowing sot only that secession was prearranged by the traitors, but1 met during ine steps preeedint its public devel opment James Buchanan was in concert with tut to, oogouent or, it net a parly to, their schemes.

This was done. Mr. Hurst was taken to Nashville, and there tried for treason on the rJth of last December, by Judge Humphries. Pending the trial, six Witnesses were introduced by the prosecution who swore that they had heard Hurst say in a speech, that he would rather trust the Black Republicsne to protect his right 10 siarery uu ice ooninern lomederacy, and that if Governor Harris quartered Confederate troops in his (Hurst's) county, to distrain the property of Union men, he would tear up the zauroaa ua oura ice rauroaa Driages mat were in bis county. Upon this testtmonr Mr. nursi introouoea none ce was pronounced guilty of treaeoa, and thrown into a dungeon, where he was kept thirty-seven days. During this time Judge Humphries was applied to by a great many, including Unionists and Secessionists, for the release ct Mr. Hnret. This was finally granted, opoa the prisoner giving hie own bonds in the sum of $25,000, to keep the peace with the Southern Confederacy for two years, or during the war.

Mr. Fierce appears to have collected a great deal-of iDormaii"! !n a short time, end much that is eut interesting. Mr. Pierce thinks there ere ebout two hundred plantations open to cultivation, and that there are between ten and twelve thousand negr,,c upon our bands, for whose present and future we must provide. This number Is rapidly increasing by escapes from the main land. Inquiries show that the average number on (be plantations woe 81, the largest being 200. The former white population, with one or two ezcep'ions, so far as can be ascertained, are rebels. The only ex portable orop of the region is the long Sea Island cotton. Potatoes and corn are raised for consumption on the islands. The agents of toe ireaeury department expect to gainer 2.5C0.X'O pounds of finned cotton this year. There are on the plantation laborers more intelligent tnan ine average, as toe carpenter, plowman and the religious leader, and they may be expected to assist us by exercising a beneficial influence upon the more ignorant. About one-half of the adult poiulation are members of churches, generally the Baptist Ltside Sunday serT.cee, there are evening prayer meetings on the plantations as often as era, 3 per senium ad valorem; en '.railroad pass- ( once or twice a week.

The disposition of the pe:ple to work has been discussed to some extent, some parties laser! In that they could not be induced to labor. Mr. Pierce's testimony en this point is in favor of the contrabands.Mr. Pierce then says, "What, than, should be the true system of administration" at Port noyai? it has been proposed to lease the plan tations and the people upon them; but this plan Mr. Pierce shows to be one of the worst that C3md be devised.

TSEASOH AMD RlBElUO PalMIOrTATBD. -1 In a letter to the Press, under dale f March 3d, Mr. Forney makes the following statement: When the news of the secession of South Carolina reached Washington city, it was greet ed with delirious joy by a brilliant evening party assembled at tne residence or Jeflerson avis. A distinguished omcer of the navy, ho had been in the habit of visiting Senator Davis and his lady, dropped in during the evening, and was informed of the event which oad exalted so much gratification. And when he manifested no pleasure at the announcement, ne was iniormed by iaris that ibers was no time for delay, and that if he accepted service n tne rebel ranks, be would in course or time be made an admiral. '-Stick to me, my friend,' said Davis to the gallant seaman, "and 1 will make your fortune. In a short lime au the Cotton States will be out of the Union, and beee will be followed by the Border Btates. bus constituting a great, independent, audi flourishing Empire." Finding him obdurate to such appeals, one of the ladies ef the coterie' approached him, "Why," she asked, "should: you falter now? 'ntiy not take the advice of Gen. Davis? The secession of South Carolina is but the begin ning or a revolution tony prepared jcr. ne baTe everything arranged. Not only will the Southern States be ours, but in a short period we win estaonen in mat region a migoty monarchy, and with the aid of foreign Powers, and our own bravery and inexhaustible resources, will take possession of Central America and Mexico, buy or take Cuba from Spain, and add to our dominions such of the West India Islands as we desire. Give up your reverence for the mere symooi oi a nag. lake sidee with us against the vulgar Northern hordes, and so accomplish the future that it in store fer you." As he left tne aouss, indignant at these bold declarations of those who had been fostered and protected oy tne uoverament, tne lady politician entered ner carnage, to convey tne thrilling intelli gence of the treason of South Carolina to a iriend and ally of the Secessionists, James Bu eaanan.

The correspondent savi. . The gunboat Tyler, which reached this place laet Bight, from Eestport, Mieiietippi, brought down a great many inguive unionists, among whom was Fisldicg Hurst, of Furdy, McNairy county, Tennessee. ThiB gentleman ieaelave- holder, the largest land-owner and the largest tax-payer m bis country, ne nas opposed se-cebeion from the lime it was first whispered un. tn now; anu in .uarcn last, wnen it was soight to carry Ten&eeete out of the Union, and in June, when an ordinance of secession passed cy tne Legislature was submitted to the people I for ratification, he labored, by act, by word, and witn bib tnnuence over otbere, to defeat it lAst November, when Governor Harris ce'Jed for the remainder cf the militia left after his first call Mr. Hurst took the stump, and spoke fearlessly against secession, and so bitter was he in one of his speeches, delivered in the court house of his country, that Governor Harris or. dered General Davis, who was then at Corinth, commanding a brigade of State militia, to arrest him. This was done. Mr. Hurst was taken to Nashville, and there tried for treason on the rJth of last December, by Judge Humphries. Pending the trial, six Witnesses were introduced by the prosecution who swore that they had heard Hurst say in a speech, that he would rather trust the Black Republicsne to protect his right 10 siarery uu ice ooninern lomederacy, and that if Governor Harris quartered Confederate troops in his (Hurst's) county, to distrain the property of Union men, he would tear up the zauroaa ua oura ice rauroaa Driages mat were in bis county. Upon this testtmonr Mr. nursi introouoea none ce was pronounced guilty of treaeoa, and thrown into a dungeon, where he was kept thirty-seven days. During this time Judge Humphries was applied to by a great many, including Unionists and Secessionists, for the release ct Mr. Hnret. This was finally granted, opoa the prisoner giving hie own bonds in the sum of $25,000, to keep the peace with the Southern Confederacy for two years, or during the war. Mr. Hurst went home and kept the peace, so far as speecfamaking was concerned, bot did not hesitate to speak his seatimenta ia ccm- mon conversation, and on the 7th instant be March 4th, lKi2.
